Times Square Block Shut Down

By SEAN GARDINER and R.M. SCHNEIDERMAN

NYPD closed off streets from 42nd to 47th along Broadway in New York City. Police shut down a block in the heart of Times Square Saturday night after receiving a call about a suspicious car fire, delaying some Broadway shows by more than an hour.

The call came in just after 6:30 and as of 9 p.m., 45th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues had not been opened. When police initially responded, they saw smoke coming out of the car but no fire.

Dustin Drankoski for the Wall Street Journal NYPD closed off streets from 42nd to 47th along Broadway in New York City. Police said a bomb squad investigation was on the scene and that the car on fire was a sport utility vehicle had license plates that didn't match the make of the car, raising suspicions.

On one of the theater district's busiest nights, some shows, including "The Lion King," were delayed by an hour or more, according to the Broadway World website.

Oprah Winfrey was in attendance of the new hit "Fela," being shown at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre on West 49th Street, and the production began on time and wasn't interrupted.

Comedy Central moved I believe.

It was the WH correspondants dinner event

All of them failed attempts make me worry that luck will soon run out for somebody in the future.

An exploding propane tank is big trouble.

But not so much if inside a Pathfinder with the hatch closed? The materials were meant to be offloaded to somewhere, or the hatch opened at sometime?

Plus, it’s damned near impossible to blow up a propane tank, what with the welds.

I’m starting to think this ‘rig’ was meant to get out of the Pathfinder to a target.

Guy on FNC is pleading, begging, for help. Sixteen months ago, I would have stayed up all night working on it but recently I just don’t feel so inclined, hmm.

The internet has comedy central at 1775 broadway

The Lion King and Comedy Central/MTV Networks are in the same building 1515 Broadway. The entrances to the theatre and the office building are right next to each other.

LUCK BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD! President Up Obama!

For years I’ve been saying the Muslims can shut down NYC easily with 4 people. Just have them at different corners of Times Square with machine guns. You can hose down 5000 in 60 there. Then have your cohorts advertise that something like this will happen every week. People will stop coming to NYC , theaters , restaurants, shopping . The economy there would crash over night.

[Sarah Barracuda]

I agree and that scares me. This guy failed, others have failed, but it takes just ONE time to be successful and especially now with a President who does not give a damn about protecting us and an Administration who coddles terrorist countries, we are screwed. Obama wants to give these pricks a hand and they want to cut it off, doesn’t he get it

I have found the New York Police Scanners, go down the list to the one with 289 listeners.

Now 283 listeners:

I did hear one broadcast that was from the Chief of Police, he ordered all Station houses to be checked for suspicious packages and unattended cars.

There was a list of other locations also, but the general order is “All suspicious packages and unattended cars”
are to be checked.

Some of the Officers are re-assigned, but did not say where.

Homeland Security (i.e. Janet Napolitano) will publically announce on May 7 that this was a serious danger to over 100,000 people. Just like it took her a week to come forward about the catastrophic danger from the oil spill in the gulf.

Chicago had a scare tonight, as did another plane landing in Phili.

[onyx]

You’re right and I will never surrender. I am full of hate, but also full of fight.

Events like this one tonight actually invigorate me. The enemy is here among us andI believe that one occupies the White House, as unimaginable as that *is*!

I pray, I stay healthy and I live to help restore our Republic. God bless you, and all our patriot FRiends.

[Pinkbell]

I agree. There have been two recent failed attempts; we have been blessed.

MTV Networks corporate headquarters are at 1515 Broadway. They are the parent company of Comedy Central.

Yet he did not feel it was time to leave and perhaps be aware of what was happening..Sounds like Obama had his “My Pet Goat” moment there

[VRWCTexan]

That is precisely what I tweeted to the so called MSM tonite who were tweeting away about this attempt...

I also asked why POTUS was not yanked out of the “party” to be available in event of a co-ordinated set of bombs

..of course no MSM will ever put that question to this president

Prayers will help!
